Recipe: Erbazzone – Bringing Italian Cooking Home!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 7, 2016 Recipes

ShareIt was a whirlwind week of almost too much Italian food….almost. 😉 Continuing on our intimate food tour, we sampled and savored prosciutto, culatello, authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, and an array of red wines. At times we were invited into the kitchens to sous (can that be a verb?) and learn first-hand secrets to the impassioned […]

Romancing Emilia Romagna – with a Big Bib!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 6, 2014 Travel and Adventures

Share An added bonus on a food foray in Italy is the setting. The Italians must have studied our films and been inspired to plant cypress trees in rows and geraniums in clay pots under trellises of grape vines. Don’t kill me when I disclose that I was invited to the region of […]

Interactive Travel: When in Rome…What Would You Suggest I Do?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 2, 2013 Interactive Travel

ShareSo I’m traveling again, as is evidenced by the lack of blog postings. [insert sheepish grin here]. One would think the result would be more blog posts but my whirlwind trip through Germany was so non-stop I was lucky to find time to share some photos on Instagram! In one day I’ve already stumbled […]

Glass-ology: A Photo Gallery from My Translucent Travels

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 7, 2013 Travel and Adventures

ShareThis week I have happily joined the #FriFotos team on Twitter as a cohost, and even contributed the suggestion for the theme! So you can imagine all of the sifting and sorting I’ve been doing of the various photos I’ve taken on my travels, and pondering the myriad interpretations of the glass theme. The cover […]

Horizons – A Photo Gallery for #FriFotos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 10, 2013 Hiking

ShareHorizons are both visual and representational, drawing our attention in a mesmerizing fashion. For this week’s theme for photo sharing on Twitter, I selected several images…especially because I live both coastal-y and mountain-ly. 🙂 And with my hiking, I’m often gazing out over gorgeous horizons and snapping photos to both share and try – sometimes […]

#FriFotos Gelato Under the Arches – Bologna, Italy

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 14, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareSo lovely you almost can’t touch it. Almost. Sweets! Somehow when we’re traveling we justify calorie-laden, creamy, rich indulgences more than when we’re in our home routine. Perhaps because we walk miles a day, performing industrial level sight-seeing. Either way, I had no qualms when I delved into this, the first gelato sampling of my […]

Beautiful Bologna – Part II in Photos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 2, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareThe way I see it; if I post a gallery of photos from my recent sojourn in Bologna and I call it “Part I”, I’m pretty much committed to producing a ‘Part II’. Trust me, this task is not taxing as sorting through the photos of my Blogville adventures is wonderfully wistful. Bologna, perfectly and […]

Florence, Italy: Spooning the Duomo

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 12, 2012 Travel and Adventures

ShareI arrive late to Florence, lugging my aptly named LUGGage behind me through the bustling train station. My first time here, I’m assured my hotel is in walking distance. Do people take in to account the fact you are hauling 60 plus pounds of luggage, laptops and cameras when they insist such things? So, I […]

Bologna, Italy – A Traveler’s Triathalon

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 5, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareIf you worry that your fitness regimen may be challenged when you travel, fear not. On one beautiful day in Italy, my girlfriends Helene, Sara and I managed to create and conquer our own Bologna Triathalon. First we climbed the 500 steps of the ancient Asinelli tower (barefoot) and monkeyed around on top while taking […]

‘The Sweetest Dolce of My Vita’ – Bologna, Italy

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 6, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareI knew what I was getting into. I mean, who thinks any trip to Italy won’t be infused with artisan crafted, heaven sent and heaven scented foods? Patiently aged cheeses, hams, wines, and even balsamic vinegars make you grapple with the dilemma of whether to devour more of the same dish you just inhaled, or […]

Beautiful Bologna – Part I in Photos

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 31, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareCiao my lovelies! If you’ve been following my “Where’s Gina” GPS map, you have an inkling I’ve been enjoying Bologna for a while now. I’ve been remiss in sharing because I’ve been strenuously enjoying the city – on your behalf, of course! (I mean “certo!”) I thought I would share a photo gallery that really […]

Interactive Travel: Italy! Tell Gina Where to Go

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 11, 2012 Interactive Travel

ShareI’m doing it again. Yes, traveling (I do that on occasion). But more than that. I’m opening my vacation up to the input, suggestions and perhaps even a few dares from my readers (and in this instance, fellow prior blogville residents). Be gentle. 😉 So, you may have seen some buzz going around Twitter about […]
